Limo Song
Jack River Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There I met you downtown, hey, hey
You rolled in like a limousin
I avoided things you could've done
You've done

Can I run to you like you running to me?
Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
Can I run to you like you running to me?

Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
And I falling to you

There under the table, hey, hey
Now I'm waiting for the ending
And you want to speak
But you have nothing to say

Can I run to you like you running to me?
Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
Can I run to you like you running to me?
Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
And I fall into you

You had that pose like a pinstripe
I never wanted to say goodbye
You're crying in the mirror
So your reflection like you is mine

Can I run to you like you running to me?
Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
Can I run to you like you running to me?
Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
And I fall into you

Can I run to you like you running to me?
Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
Can I run to you like you running to me?
Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
And I fall into you

And I fall into you
And I fall into you

And I fall into you
And I fall into you

Overall Meaning

The song "Limo Song" by Jack River is about the feelings of uncertainty and insecurity that can arise in a relationship, particularly in the early stages. The lyrics describe meeting someone new and feeling a strong attraction but also a sense of caution: the singer is hesitant to give in to the potential excitement of the situation because they are aware of the risks involved. The image of the other person arriving in a limousine represents their glamorous and perhaps intimidating presence, while the reference to being "under the table" alludes to the secrecy and hiddenness of their interactions.

Despite these concerns, the singer still feels drawn to the other person and wonders if they might be able to rely on them. The repetition of the questions "Can I run to you like you're running to me? / Can I fall into you like you fall into me?" suggest a desire for equality and shared vulnerability in the relationship. However, the final lines of the song, where the singer imagines themselves falling into the other person, suggest that they may ultimately give in to their feelings regardless of the risks.

Overall, "Limo Song" is a bittersweet exploration of the ups and downs of falling in love, and the delicate balance between trusting someone and protecting oneself.

There I met you downtown, hey, hey
I first saw you when we were both out in the city

You rolled in like a limousin
You arrived in a grand and flashy manner, like a limousine

I stayed away from things that you were capable of doing, possibly to protect myself

Can I run to you like you running to me?
Is it possible that I can chase you like you are pursuing me?

Can I fall into you like you fall into me?
Can I let myself trust you and let my guard down like you have done with me?

And I falling to you
I am also allowing myself to be vulnerable with you

There under the table, hey, hey
We are now together and sharing a private moment, possibly at a table

Now I'm waiting for the ending
I am unsure of what will happen between us and waiting to see how it all plays out

And you want to speak
You have something to say to me

But you have nothing to say
You don't have anything to tell me or are possibly struggling to express yourself

You had that pose like a pinstripe

I never wanted to say goodbye
I didn't want our time together to end

And I fall into you
My feelings for you continue to grow stronger

And I fall into you
I am fully trusting and committing to you

And I fall into you
I am giving my all to this relationship and letting my guard down
